Cast: Although there were quite a few likable people in the cast such as Natalie, Bridgette and occasionally Michelle, this season is weighed down by Paulie. Paulie is one of the most disgustingly sexist players to ever be in the Big Brother house. The way he demeaned the women in the house was appalling, specifically his so called "girl" Zakiyah. He acted as if he owned her, and as if he was better than every female in the game. Watching him week after week was disturbing, and production should have put a stop to it way earlier on in the season. On another note, no one could ever forget the delusional Jozea, the self-proclaimed messiah, who played one of the worst games ever. There was an excitement to watching Victor fight his way back into the house TWICE, but other than that, Paul and Victor were both annoying fame-whores. The only redeeming part of the cast was the opportunity to see Da'Vonne play a second time. Unfortunately for her, she proved that she still wasn't a very good Big Brother player.
Winner: Nicole was an OK winner. There wasn't anything spectacular about her gameplay, she somehow avoided eviction and kept on using Corey as her meatshield for the entire season. The season would have had a more satisfying ending had Paul won in the final two over Nicole. Even though he was annoying most of the season, he represented more of an underdog storyline, and he also had the competition record to back up a solid win.
Rewatchability: There is no reason to rewatch this season. There are mind numbing twists every week that the producers have thrown in to make up for the fact that there was no actually good gameplay to air. Every episode features a James prank segment, and it would be great to never see Paulie Calafiore on a screen ever again. The show would be better off returning to Have/Have Not competitions as opposed to their making up new competitions season after season. Roadkill competitions were boring and a third nominee twist has been done many times before. Overall, a boring season filled with boring personalities.
Cast: There were not many memorable personalities on this season. Although production continues to push Jeff and Jordan seasons later they were on the show, nobody really actually likes Jeff. Even though he put on a "good boy" face for the show, he has been known to spew extremely homophobic opinions (check out Jeff and his view on Dumbledore on YouTube). The only memorable personality from this season was Chima, who got herself booted out by production for not listening to their rules, most notably when she threw her microphone into the pool. This season brought back Jessie for some strange reason, after he played a less than mediocre game in the tenth season. On top of everything, we had to deal with Lydia and her weird obsession with Jessie. There was also a horrendous casting twist in which the first part of the game had to be played in high school cliques.
Winner: Jordan was definitely a likeable and congenial winner. It was hard not to fall in love with her sweet personality, unfortunately for her, she got wrapped up with Jeff. She deserves a lot more than the homophobia spewing Jeff. However, even though Jordan was a "nice" winner, she was a horrible game player. Jordan did not make one memorable game move throughout the entire game. It was though, satisfying to see Jordan win over Natalie in the end, "good" triumphed over "evil".
Rewatchability: I suppose there were some memorable moments to go back to this season. Such as Chima's explusion, and the coup d'etat twist in which Jeff sent Jessie packing. Otherwise however, besides Jordan, nobody in the house is likeable enough to warrant this season a second watch.
Cast: Once more, a big UGH. This cast was completely unbearable. The personalities that had the most potential were evicted early on in the season, and then we got stuck with having to deal with Nick and Phil Paquette, Kelsey, Jared, and Raul. Loveita had potential to be an interesting character, but she got in her head too much and became extremely cringey to watch. The saving grace of the season came with Cassandra and Nikki. The second cast twist brought us a couple of international players, Nikki from the UK, and Tim from Australia. Although Nikki wasn't very good at the game of Big Brother, she was endless entertainment. Cassandra was strategic, and played an amazing social game. Unfortunately, the few positives get overshadowed by the huge negatives.
Winner: The worst twist in Big Brother history, the "Brothers Twist". It is still baffling as to why the rest of the house didn't even think to evict the brothers early on. They had a clear advantage of swapping challenges, not getting as tired as the other houseguests between them. The brothers did not make any significant moves in the game, acting like babies the entire time in the house, and treating women like garbage. Although the final two of Kelsey and the brothers was disappointing either way, it would have been better off with Kelsey winning.
Rewatchability: There a couple of standout moments, specifically Mitch's eviction speech, which will go down as one of the most iconic speeches of all time. However, other than watching Nikki make a fool of herself, there really isn't much to see.
Cast: There was nobody in this cast that I was legitimately rooting for. Essentially, you found yourself rooting for whoever Paul was targeting that week. Everyone was found spewing racist, homophobic or transphobic hate on live feeds, with Cody, the apparent "fan favorite" being the worst of the bunch. Jessica was a fun underdog at one point, but her association with Cody just soured my experience of her. Above all, the inclusion of Paul in a cast of complete newbies resulted in one of the most obviously rigged seasons of all time. The "temptation" twist throughout the season constantly favoured Paul and his minions.
Winner: Josh is an awful winner who had little to no strategic game. However, watching Josh win the jury over Paul, who was so confident that he had the game in the bag made gave Josh's win the satisfying punch it needed.
Rewatchability: Week after week, production played into the hand's of Paul. There were no shocks of surprises, whoever Paul wanted out that week, that's who went. Yawn.
Cast: Undoubtedly the worst cast in Big Brother history. This season was infamous for being racist, homophobic and sexist. The queen of evil herself, Aaryn, made plenty of ignorant statements against minorities. She made fun of Helen, a Korean contestant in the house, and openly mocked Candice, an African-American woman, because of the way she spoke. Aaryn wasn't the sole perpetrator - Spencer made many sexist comments towards women, some in which he openly vouched for sexual assault. Fortunately, many of them found out upon leaving the house that they had been fired from their jobs. On the other hand, production never stepped in and let this awful behaviour continue for all of America to see. There is no excuse for the behaviour that went down on this season, let's hope these contestants never get a chance to "redeem" themselves by appearing on another season.
Winner: In a cast full of idiots, Andy was definitely the most deserving winner. Everyone was rooting for Elissa, and although she was an underdog, production pushed her and gave her game powers because she was Rachel Reilly's sister. Elissa didn't do anything spectacular in the game other than use the powers production granted her. There was no other worthy winner in the game, Andy properly manipulated the house into doing his bidding, and he perfected what many call "playing like a rat". It was not a popular strategy, but playing every side of the house got Andy the grand prize at the end.
Rewatchability: There were some fun fights in this season, from Gina-Marie screaming at the house when Nick got evicted (someone she knew for two weeks), or Amanda wrecking general havoc on the houseguests. However, no fights can take away from the awful racism that surrounded this season. It is tough to watch through this season a second time, hell, even just one time. Production should've done something about what was being said, but they didn't.
Cast: Any cast that has Frankie Grande in it automatically goes to the bottom of any list. The only likeable personalities were evicted in the first few weeks of the game, and from then on it was dominated by horrible masculine and macho men who had zero personality other than their misogynistic bravado that needed to be flaunted at every opportunity. It didn't help either that Frankie kept on getting saved from eviction by production. Besides that, he was a horrible person filled with delusions about his fame. Frankie Grande will go down in Big Brother history as the most unlikeable houseguest of all time. The only salvageable part of this cast was Donny, who definitely did not belong with the rest of the self absorbed muscle heads on this season.
Winner: Derrick is usually ranked amongst one of the best winner's of all time, and that is a fair statement. Derrick dominated the game and no one even dared to put him on the block because he had such good ties with everyone in the house. Even Cody took him to the final two with him, knowing very well that he would lose! However, it's easy to wonder how Derrick would fare in another season full of smarter players. Fortunately for Derrick, no one this season was particularly bright, so it gave him an easy pass to the end. It would be interesting to see Derrick on another season to really establish his legendary winner status.
Rewatchability: The season was relatively drama free. The alliance of "The Hitmen" dominated the entire season, every eviction was completely predictable. Also, spare yourself from ever having to see Frankie Grande on your television screens ever again. This season also introduced the horrible "Battle of the Block" twist, which forced players to nominate pawns every single nomination ceremony.
